What LabCorp does
Labcorp (Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings; NYSE: LH) is a U.S.-headquartered, publicly traded life sciences company operating two principal segments: Diagnostics and Biopharma Laboratory Services. The Diagnostics business provides clinical laboratory testing across 6,500+ assays to physicians, nearly 4,000 hospitals and health systems, 700+ health plans, employers, and individual consumers, leveraging a network of 2,200+ patient service centers that reach 95% of the U.S. population and 90% of covered lives in-network, supported by 1,200+ PhDs/MDs and 750+ million tests performed in 2025. Consumer access is delivered through Labcorp OnDemand, the Walgreens retail partnership, GetLabs at-home collection, and the AI-powered MyLabcorp mobile app.
The Biopharma Laboratory Services segment supports drug development from nonclinical research through clinical trial central lab services, contributing to over 85% of new FDA-approved drugs and carrying an $8.6B trailing 12-month backlog. Its proprietary technology stack spans molecular diagnostics, genomics, and pathology with AI-enabled layers including the Diagnostic Assistant test finder, the AWS/Datavant-powered real-world data platform, MVX biomarker scoring, Plasma Detect Genome MRD liquid biopsy, and expanded partnerships with PathAI (digital pathology) and Illumina (comprehensive genomic profiling).
The business model combines high-volume, recurring clinical testing revenue from hospital and physician clients, payor contracts under both in-network fee schedules and Medicare reimbursement (e.g., NASHnext at ~$252/test), specialty genetic and esoteric testing with higher per-test economics (ColoSense, Elecsys pTau-181, DPYD genotyping, Vectra), direct-to-consumer pay-as-you-go testing, and enterprise contracts with biopharma sponsors. Revenue is diversified across segments, with FY2026 guided at $14.65-$14.80B (5.0%-6.1% growth) and Q1 2026 reported at $3.54B (+5.8% YoY).
